    I’m so glad you did a tutorial. A few people cut the house roofs in the wrong direction. I wish you would have shown that part of the directional fabric cutting. I’m afraid as others are to cut it. But this year I am giving myself a month to cut the finishing kit before the second botm comes. Hopefully I can make these roofs and chimneys so the quilt will come together by the time we are done 😊. Thank you for the tutorial. ~Martha

    Thank you so much. I have made plenty of mistakes with directional fabric. Especially with flying geese and the 4 at a time method! I had to do some experimenting with that one. Good luck with your quilt. Thanks for letting me know you liked the tutorial and that it helped. I'm sure you will do great.

    Hi Deanna, I was going to your site to watch something else and I was so excited to see that you are doing the Designer Mystery 2024 BOM. I just cut out my first block last night, and I plan on sewing it today and then cutting out everything else I need for the 12 months…I watched you through all of the 2022 Mystery BOM’s. Thank you for sharing. Love your channel! ❤

    Thank you. If I remember, I spray starch. I don’t saturate like some people do. I don’t have the setup for that. I have done very few blocks where I didn’t have to redo something, this just happened to be one of them. That’s why I lay things out before I sew. That way I can see if it’s in the right direction. Thanks for letting me know you are also making the quilt. I would be interested to know how it goes. 😊

    Is this your first quilt ever, or your first quilt along? If this is your first quilt ever, my hats off to you, you will have learned a lot about quilting by the time you are through. Yes, after you sew on your square, check it to make sure that it is on correctly, if so, then trim. Keep me updated on how your quilt is coming along. Just do not give up. Keep going, it does not have to be perfect. Thank you for watching and your comment.

    I really am directionally challenged. And it is very easy to get things mixed up. My design board (big and small) keep me out of trouble. Except from time to time, I still looks right, but there is something turned. Regarding pattern directions: I use my best practices (having been able to acquire them) and ignore what is in the pattern most of the time. I would never make HST's using a QST method.

    Great demo. I made this quilt pattern for myself in 2020. I had some beautiful Anna Maria Horner fat quarters that I had accumulated from one of her collections through the fat quarter bundle deals from Free Spirit that Amazon offered back in 2019-2020. (20 fqs for $21-23). Truly a snag a deal. The fabric was so beautiful in desaturated colors. I just love it. This is a perfect quilt for a beginner as there are no seams to match so long as you get the squares the same size!

    Good afternoon Deanna, I hope that you are feeling oh so much brighter than you had been, it's so lovely to see you bringing us some lovely new blocks to see. This will be a lovely lap size quilt or perhaps a hanging for that empty place on our stairs that always looks so bare when you are walking down them. I am just back from a community craft centre that does all sorts of things in it, although really it is just at the start of its long journey to bringing two disused old, old sandstone buildings back into useage again. I take my son Rory, who is autistic to it for the art classes that he is so into, so i go into the knitting and crochet and have made such a lot of lovely friends, who would help anyone out. It is so lovely to go to because they always notice when you are missing and always ask after you, this is something that i have never had before or felt before. A lovely lot of people who make all the difference to your day. Sending crafty hugs lovely lady hoping that you are having some better days. Norah, Glenochil, Central Scotland

I'm glad you have a group of people who accept and miss you. I have also missed you and my viewers. Thank you for sharing with me, you always brighten my day.
